I am honestly fucking shocked that he’s even come to this conclusion big if true
Huge actually, I didn't know he even could come to a realization.
Are you and poopkins related or are the names just a coincidence 🎤
As far as I'm aware it'd be coincidence, but half my family tree is a mystery that I intentionally leave unanswered, so who knows?
It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through “Banking” or “Secondary Sanctions?”
People were trying that last year already, together with the arms deliveries. Until you came along and fucked with everything. You claimed to have such a great plan that you could end the war in 24h. Now, after 2307h in office you realise what everyone knew years ago? Truly a genius.
"Nobody knew health care could be so complicated" part 2

There must be a specific phrase or stolen-language word for this idiocy, because ‘hubris’ ain’t cutting it. To assume that everyone is wrong for doing it X way that you quickly do a 180 on, only to slowly realize the reality that drove everyone else’s decisions.
And then slowly and very publicly course correct back to ‘the way things were’ while never coming to terms with your mistake.
He's just now realizing this? lol
Art of the deal, not art of the understanding-what-is-super-fucking-obvious
What a stable genius
Trump wants a nobel peace prize like Obama's SOOO BAD!!
The irresistible force of Nobel envy meets the immovable object of the pee tape.
No matter what deal I make with respect to Russia/Ukraine, no matter how good it is, even if it’s the greatest deal ever made, The Failing New York Times will speak BADLY of it. Liddle’ Peter Baker, the very biased and untalented writer for The Times, followed his Editor’s demands and wrote that Ukraine should get back territory, including, I suppose, Crimea, and other ridiculous requests, in order to stop the killing that is worse than anything since World War II. Why doesn’t this lightweight reporter say that it was Obama who made it possible for Russia to steal Crimea from Ukraine without even a shot being fired. It was also Liddle’ Peter who wrote an absolutely fawning, yet terribly written Biography, on Obama. It was a JOKE! Did Baker ever criticize the Obama Crimea Giveaway? NO, not once, only TRUMP, and I’ve had nothing to do with this stupid war, other than early on, when I gave Ukraine Javelins, and Obama gave them sheets. This is Sleepy Joe Biden’s War, not mine. It was a loser from day one, and should have never happened, and wouldn’t have happened if I were President at the time. I’m just trying to clean up the mess that was left to me by Obama and Biden, and what a mess it is. With all of that being said, there was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through “Banking” or “Secondary Sanctions?” Too many people are dying!!!
-The president of the United States of America, ladies and gentlemen.
It kinda reminds me of the Fireside Chats, except it's an endless stream of rambling, idiotic banalities from a total lunatic. It's like if Mussolini had a Twitter account
Trumpism:
Ukraine should concede Crimea and anything else Russia wants - but Obama should never have let Russia take Crimea!
If you elect me, I'll have a deal made on day one - but whatever deal I make they won't take it, it's all Biden's fault!
I'm going to put tariffs on every country in the world except Russia because things are already so tough for them - but they won't listen to me, somebody needs to sanction Russia!
I think Ukraine needs to apologize to Russia for instigating such an aggressive war - but why won't anyone acknowledge how smart I am on foreign policy?
He unilaterally tariffed the rest of world and allies without any meeting with allies, tariffed first before talking.
But for Putin, he is talk first before sanction, not even sanctions just a warning..
As a Russian asset, Trump is required to regurgitate what Putin wants and claim it as his own thought
No shit. Putin, and the rest of the world, have no respect for him. Nobody considers him a threat. Plus we all know Putin has shit on Trump anyway so that's twice the reason not to give a shit about anything Trump wants to try.
Nobody considers him a threat.
Thats not quite right. He's a threat in the same way as a toddler with a hand grenade.
Good point. Toddler with nuclear codes.
I wouldn't be surprised if Putin had the Trump videos on Epstein's island. What a crazy love triangle.
I suspect Trump doesn't care anymore, he's seen that he can get away with everything.
This is one of those one off remarks that will have zero impact on his strategy going forward, isn’t it?
I mean COME ON
